Tell me the reason why you say You wanna look around Tell me what takes you far away Leavin' me on the ground All of the things you do and say Turnin' me upside down I can't go on and on this way Stumblin' round 'n' round
Do, do, do So won't you? Won't you come on? Say it! Don't you know you gotta love me? You gotta want me
Tell me what I should say or do How do I catch your eye? I made a goddess out of you Ready to do or die Gathered a thousand stars for you Took 'em right out the sky Tell me you dream about me too Tell me a tender lie
CHORUS:
Well there's a sparrow without a wing And there's a song with no one to sing And there's a fool on the hill Who thinks he's doin' fine You roam the world In your lonely flight Singing songs in the dead of night And everything seems to be all right But not inside wooh ooh ooh ooh
So tell me that you won't hesitate Betcha we make a rhyme We've gotta take the hands of fate While we are in our prime Come on and help me syncopate Let your heart beat like mine This is an easy step to take Easy to dance in time
CHORUS:
Tell me the reason why you say You wanna look around Tell me what takes you far away Leavin' me on the ground
Tell me what I should say or do How do I catch your eye? Tell me that you won't hesitate Betcha we make a rhyme
CHORUS:
